Elon Musk's Grok Bot Now Routes Long-Running Tasks to Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5

Elon Musk announced that Grok Bot, xAI's persistent cloud-based agent platform, will now intelligently route tasks to multiple leading AI models—including Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5—rather than relying solely on Grok's own models, marking a strategic shift toward model-agnostic task execution. The change transforms Grok Bot into a sophisticated routing layer that selects the best-performing backend for each job type, selecting Claude Opus 5.5, Midjourney, Suno, and other APIs based on task requirements.
